Phobias

[Redwallfan7]

This might sound like an unusual phobia, but I still get scared (no matter how old I am) of the scream and grim reaper costumes, and the clown costumes for Halloween in the costume shops.

Now that I'm older I don't scream or cry about it, but I do shiver. Like I was in a store and I looked away, because I didn't want to see it

  I don't remember if I've posted this already, but I hate alarm clocks.  Or anything that beeps.  I just hate the noise!

[Redwallfan7]

Alarm clocks are annoying, but they don't scare me. Oh, does anyone else get scared of being in a dark, really dark room? Like where you can't even see your hand. I went camping with my parents and cousins and at night our whole trailer was pitch black

One time, I was at some shop and there was a fortune telling booth, and this fake guy was inside. I watched it warily as I walked into the shop, and once safely inside I watched it. It's eyes moved, and I flipped. I ran outside, freaking out and and refused to go into that shop again. It was awful...

[Redwallfan7]

I kind of get scared of those too

I don't like being in really deep water. I went in the five-metre part of a pool once.

  I don't like swimming in lakes near the deep area.  I just keep thinking that I'm going to step on a fish or something gross.

[Redwallfan7]

Most people assume that I'm afraid of water because I can't swim that well. Not true. I don't mind being in water, it's just that I'm not quite athletically coordinated. Swimming does looks awesome though.

I get freaked out swimming in water I can't see the bottom of, not necessarily deep but if the sand stirs up or the water is dark or if it IS deep, I start breathing really fast and begin to imagine fish eating my feet or stepping on an oyster and losing my toes or when I'm in the sea stepping on a stingray, stonefish or puffer fish... I have to wear flippers when I go into that kind of water because I get so scared 
And, completely opposite to that, I have a phobia of fire. When me and my siblings were little, on a Saturday and a Sunday morning one of us would make my mum a cup of tea for her to drink in bed. I am the youngest, so eventually it was my turn. But I refused to light the gas stove top to boil the water. Not with really long matches and not with a gas lighter. After having a campfire on a camp, I can barely sleep for fear of it not having been put out and starting a bush fire. I won't spend very much time in the country and I simply don't go out to country N.S.W (I live in Sydney, Australia) in the summer. I don't even like birthday candles. 
So, two major phobias... I don't mind bugs though

I hate you spiders!!!!! Curse you for haunting me at the beach all week!!!!

  Ouch.  I feel sorry for you.  I heard somewhere that the average person eats around 14 spiders in their sleep per year.  You're welcome for that little fact!

eww! When I was in Missouri in 2010, there were large spiders surrounding the outside of the condo. I didn't want to touch the stair railings. Thankfully, they sprayed them out and when I went again this year, I could hold on to the railing again.

. . . . .Why did I come back to this topic? And yes I knew that. Stop making me want to throw up my breakfast.

  I'm afraid of crawling under things.  I don't know why, but I do.

/\ Same, ever since about four years ago, when I was getting a new bed. I asked my dad, who was putting it in if I could crawl under it. When I asked why he said no, the frame sorta collapsed.
